are they?

both are communicating system or application status to the user; both might 
offer interaction options to the user ("Chat", "Stop", etc); jobs may turn 
into notifications; notifications may turn into jobs ("So-and-so wants to send 
you a file. Do you accept?" as a notification which turns into a job) ...

to the user it's all "stuff my computer is doing and trying to tell me about"

i think that while they are very different programatically, humanistically 
they are actually very much the same sort of thing.
